503.46 is what percent of 350 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 350 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 350, so we can write it down as 100%=350.
4. We know, that x% equals 503.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=503.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350
2) x%=503.46
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=350/503.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 503.46 is what percent of 350

100%/x%=350/503.46
(100/x)*x=(350/503.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.69518929011242*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.69518929011242) to get x
100/0.69518929011242=x
143.84571428571=x
x=143.84571428571

now we have:
503.46 is 143.84571428571% of 350
